    Slow West is a great film about a man going to America to find a girl he grew up with in Scotland. It’s got Fassbender in it.

    Most of these are just slow by modern standards, MTV changed film editing for good

    Into the Wild is pretty minimal once he moved to Alaska

    The Master is very minimal of plot but the opposite of relaxing

    Valhalla Rising and Beyond the Black Rainbow are both low on exposition and focus a lot on building an ambiance around the wilderness or a false sense of nostalgia

    edit: Unbreakable has some great cinematography and framing with really long holds between cuts by today’s standards, slows the visual pacing but makes it feel way more epic and suspenseful

    I have to assume people will have different ideas of minimal, but I just watched Love Me, and I think it counts

      I don’t know if I would call Clerks a slow-paced movie, like the plot barely advances at all throughout the entire movie, and I get that, but the movie is not really about the plot, it’s about a series of seemingly unconnected events that happen in an average, nondescript location in New Jersey, and getting to people watch as the weirdness erupts around the one seemingly normal person in the entire film.

        I used to love Clerks when I was a teenager, but after rewatching it as an adult (along with a few other Kevin Smith movies), I feel like I outgrew it. It’s edgy and the characters have good chemistry and was shot well, but end of the day, kinda just juvenile and the dialog pretentious. I get why it was criticized as such.
